Gnomon International Design

 

 In the heart of Hollywood, Gnomon has renovated its space to reflect International Design. It has a strong and powerful exterior with a raised building to differentiate administrative offices, student services and administrative parking which is located below the building. The right larger building houses the educational facilities. The school houses 2 lab areas; a 24 hour lab and a lab which is open during school hours. The school, maintaining their standard of excellence also includes a small cafe and cafeteria for students and administration, a large auditorium for events as well as classrooms which are equipped with professional industry workstations with access to render farms. The educational building also includes a storage facility for students a library and student store. The Gnomon campus also prides itself on being handicap accessible and has mental and physical health services for students.

  This particular floor houses the 24 hour lab. It is equipped with a small kitchen area, bathrooms, a break room, a small sleeping area, the main lab floor and small conference rooms. The kitchen is stocked with utensils, a small eating area, a fridge, coffee machines, and toaster oven and microwave. The break room includes a few couches with a wide screen TV, a video library, game consoles, arcade games, and a sitting area with tables. Next to the break room is the sleeping area. This sleeping area has bunk beds where students can take small naps (it is stressed that students are required to maintain healthy hygiene and that this does not serve as your apartment living area). Fresh sheets are kept in a cabinet and a dirty laundry bin is next to the cabinet. Students are expected to remove their used sheets and put them in the laundry bin. the wide lab area has work stations and small pull out tables on each station for extra surface area. The conference rooms in the center of the lab allow students to either work on traditional medias or work in groups.  

 The style of the lab area features a bright and open feel. Large windows allow ample natural lighting which can also be shaded if necessary. Each station also comes equipped with anti-glare monitors.
